I'm using mock-0.9.14 on a fully updated CentOS 5.3 and yum is still trying to install pam before coreutils. Perhaps the problem is a configuration difference. For the most part, I'm using a standard mock configuration. I have, however, disabled all caching in site-defaults.cfg Perhaps others aren't seeing this problem yet because they are using a cached buildroot, but will have a problem once the cache is cleared. I tried enabling caching, but it didn't make a difference. For building, I use a copy of the CentOS core and update packages rsync'd from a local mirror. rsync -qaHz --numeric-ids --fuzzy --delete-excluded I'm also using the latest buildsys packages from Fedora downloaded by runnning: wget -q -rc -nv -nH -np -R '*=D,*=A' \ http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/rhel5/i386/ I have tried building with EPEL enabled and disabled. Neither helped.
